The French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health (ANSES) has during two years work updated their evaluation of health effects from exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF). It is stated that there is evidence for biological effects both in animals and humans. Also an increased risk for brain tumours has been shown in some studies after long-term use of mobile phones.

It is concluded that:

”Given this information, and against a background of rapid development of technologies and practices, ANSES recommends limiting the population’s exposure to radiofrequencies – in particular from mobile phones – especially for children and intensive users, and controlling the overall exposure that results from relay antennas.”
